@NickLock34 Considerably it could be in a certain sense. :P You can carry it with you...as long as you have access to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. xD
very nice video but i missed a few spottes umm does it hav all the software as a say mac book fo example garage band and pictruebooth (or what ever its called :D) so could you please resspond to this and explaine what it has like in it and can you plug in stereos can you put CDs in it? thank you
@themartinghost Yes, it comes with iLife 2011, which includes Garage Band, iPhoto, etc. The Mac Mini has a DVD drive - I'm quite certain I mention that in the video. I'm not sure what "stereos" are - you mean headphones? Yes, it has a headphone jack.
@tjalfedaugaard Drunk? No, I don't drink. I can't tell if your second line is a question ("Why can't you hold the Mac in your hand properly?") or a a statement ("You're not supposed to pick up the Mac and hold it in your hand."). So you tell me. :-)
@ilovelilyandgaga Look up my name online (Jason Dunn) and "Apple" and you'll find lots of things that I've said that are anti-Apple. There's a lot about the company that I don't like (just read the comments on my Macbook Air 13 unboxing).
Yes I agree, 4gb ram is really expensive, for me to upgrade to 8 gb, is gonna cost me about £200, which for that amount, I can get a netbook, so I think I'm gonna stick with my 3gb, but probably will upgrade to 4gb in the future.
@mumihp Unless you're running a virtual machine - such as Windows on top of OX S - having 8 GB of RAM will get you basically nothing. 4 GB is lots for day to day use, even if you're a heavy multi-tasker.
I'm sure if apple lowers thier prices, then a lot more people would buy thier stuff, with the current recession going, people would just go for the cheaper comps/laptop over apple.
@mumihp Ah, but that's just it - Apple doesn't want to lower their prices because they don't *want* everyone buying a Mac. Just like BMW and Lexus doesn't want everyone driving their cars. Steve Jobs believes that only a certain type of person should buy a Mac - someone that's willing to spend the money on the premium experience.
the only apple product I only is a ipod touch 2g, and I think Apple overprices there product, but I admire the creativity, I admit Iove apple packaging, and the style + looks of thier products, so I give them props, I been using windows over 10 years, and if the mac line was cheaper I would buy it, but I can't justify myself, in paying about a grand on mac when I can get a comp or laptop with the best hardware out there for cheaper, so I've stick with my sony viao.
@Lazybabyz If you don't ask too much of it, yes, it's a worthwhile little desktop computer - it's fairly fast given the hardware, it's completely silent, and OS X works quite well on it.
@ThoughtsMedia Oh trust me, I watched the video. I also gave you a thumbs up and a favorite. I was talking about Unboxing as a whole. How thorough you were with reviewing the product was well appreciated. I honestly thing you should have named it something else, Unboxing doesn't really seem fit.
@lucschott Oh, OK. :-) If you're talking about the unboxing videos where the person doesn't talk and literally it's them just taking it out of the package, then yeah, I agree - I sure don't watch those! My videos are really more of a "first impressions" video, but "Unboxing" was and still sort of is the "hot term" for those types of videos. Maybe in 2011 I'll change to calling these something different - who knows. :-)
The Mac mini can be used as a living room computer by hooking it up to a HDTV. With that in mind would you go for google tv or a Mac mini for entertainment purposes?
@Ja1258 I haven't used a Google TV device yet myself; I guess it really depends on whether you're looking to integrate your cable box in the mix; that's what Google TV brings. If it's more about Internet video, or accessing your own DVD/video library, I think a Boxee Box would be your best choice. I'm just not a fan of having a full-blown computer connected to a TV. I've done it a few times, and it's always a bit of a hassle.
i love in it...really just few month back i even hate apple fans..(why ..seriously without any reason..!) ...but now after buying few apple products ...i wanna say, the guys are really king in their field ....yeah ..i love them but i've a little excuse ..hmmm.....( yeah yeah ..roses have thrones with them).....apple products are so much expensive absolutely their price met their quality and experience but spending money is a big problem ...LOL....
i got a really yerning question, do i have to use HDMI for the mac mini or is it some way possible to use AVI or anyother to connect it to a moniter (just curious) and is it possible to play COD 4 on it
should I get a MacMini 'cuz I want to have one just for its awesomenness but can i also use wndows movie maker or someting alse on it? for converting and editing my videos
@WzzupThijs Windows Movie Maker is a Windows-only program. The Mac Mini comes with iMovie, which is part of the iLife Suite. The Mac Mini uses OS X, not Windows. I think you need to do some reading. :-)
@WzzupThijs It's your money, and your decision - I don't tell people what they should or shouldn't buy. I will say though that this Mac Mini is still fairly new, so Apple isn't going to replace it with a new model until, I'd guess, late 2011 or even later. Apple doesn't update the Mini very often.
@topgearmad1 Yes, it should be fine for those tasks - though keep in mind, when it comes to HD video, the CPU will limit the performance, especially upon output. It will just take longer, that's all. :-)
@haloman180 Yes, I believe that should work without any problems - assuming your mouse and keyboard don't need some sort of Windows-only software to function (which would be very unusual). VGA is support if you buy a VGA adaptor from Apple.
@TheRealDaftPunk First, no need to swear. It adds nothing to your point. The capacity on the one I have is 2 GB, but you can can up to 8 GB capacity. Check out Think Geek - they sell them. Prices range from $50 to $99.
I was referring to Apple letting only a select few review their products (possibly to get a loaded response)... Cant remember anytime any legit reviewer trashed their products... Apple just doesn't want to hand their products to probable "Apple haters" for review as its a waste of everyone time...I've got to say (and did in your 2nd video) it was nice to see a well spoken, intelligent review by someone who knows what their talking about. Thanks
@frontier1701 Well, you're welcome to believe whatever you wish, but in my fairly broad circle of technology bloggers and writers, Apple has a very well-established policy of only releasing review hardware to a select few people - and all of those people are notoriously pro-Apple (Walt Mossberg, etc.). Many of my peers have to go purchase Apple hardware to review it. That's not BS, it's a fact. Apple plays by their own rules, as always.
hey. i'm thinking of getting a mac mini but i dont want a LED cinema display anymore so i want to know weather a Acer T230Hbmidh 23 Inch Full HD Wide Touchscreen Monitor would work?
if so would it enable my MM to be a touch screen divice?
@MrBakuganfan123 you can run windows on a mac via boot camp or using parallels or VM ware fusion so you can switch between OSX and Windows without the need to restart computer
@Madhoosudhan You mean when I fumbled with it? That has nothing to do with being nervous - it's just a slip. The Mac Mini has smooth edges, so it's not exactly easy to hold.
@disidentes1 I'd love to be able to answer that, but Apple, being the completely dickish company that they are, doesn't provide free trials of Final Cut Pro, or even Final Cut Express. I'd like to check out Final Cut Express myself, but don't want to pay $200 for something that "might" be better. It's REALLY frustrating. So you'll have to find someone that has the software already... :-(
@disidentes1 yeah, of course it can, i recommend you getting 8gb of ram, if you film allot, with a 500gb hardrive, and the fastest proccesor, and if you edit allot, don't even think about the magic mouse, get a microsoft based mouse, apple mouses are only made for quick computing, they get really greasy from sweat, trust me, mine does it all the time when i edit
why the hell would you buy Macs this imac min iwhatever you call it is so much like $999 Australian Dollers and it doesn't come with a Dam Keyboard or Mouse For a Acer Windows pc you get DVi,VGA maybe Audio cable Keyboard and mouse for $288 Australian Dollers which is pretty much a bagain unlike macmini cost like 700 dollers more it should come with a keyboard and mouse and more better sepcs then a pc but good review dude
@Mruglytomatoes how? that's just what mac users tell themselves to sleep at night. I have a quad-core that I bought 2 yrs ago with a 8800GT (that costs less than a 100 bucks stand-alone) and still plays everything without too much hassle. The PC cost me 800 bucks without the monitor. I have no problems with it and won't upgrade anytime soon.
@Yamcha67 Well, it seems like some people can get a lot longer out of it than that, so I guess I'll have to wait and see. I do turn the mouse off when I'm not using it...
@splice247 So? I would have been perfectly happy with the size of the last-generation Mac Mini if it means a higher-performance CPU in this one. Besides, Intel has mobile versions of the Core chips, and if a laptop can rock a Core i7, why can't a Mac Mini?
@woods72 Yeah, turns out he takes his Macbook out of the room where his Magic Mouse is, so the Magic Mouse is probably going into a high-power "seek" mode where it's looking for the Macbook...he didn't tell me this until yesterday. :-( So hopefully I'll get better battery life than he's getting. ;-)
@zain4cutes It's a Swiss Army branded knife. Go to Think Geek and search for "Swiss Army" and you'll find it. They have a 2 GB version (the one I have), 4 GB, and it looks like they now have an 8 GB version (which I've been waiting for). :-)
@rockinthesixstring Thanks, glad you liked the videos. Curious about the "OS X" thing, I asked four Mac people I know. All said that both terms get used, though according to Apple, it's "Mac OS ten" and nothing else. Kind of a mouthful - I'll just call it "Kitty Cat". Oh, all agreed though that anyone who actually cares is being pedantic. ;-) Interesting about the Magic Mouse - maybe my friend has a defective one...?
@darkazer451 Until I power it up and use it, I can't really comment on it being "overpriced". If you look only at the specs, yes, it's expensive for the performance you get. But you can't ignore the engineering, the design, the quality, and the Apple customer service (which is always rated at the top, or near the top). Apple is a luxury brand, and you pay for that. You can find cars $10K apart in price that have the same horsepower...but different rides. So we'll see what I think. :-)
@skrbicdu Yes, as I mentioned in part two of this video, I'm going to be shooting a video of my experiences from the moment I press the power button on the Mac Mini. Will I share it online? Depends on if I think there's something interesting to be shared. :-) I'll certainly talk about OS X in the video review, but I'll want to use it for a few weeks at least, maybe longer, so I can give it a fair shake.
@TheMRamstaff I don't need, or want, an all-in-one computer. I already have four monitors in my office: two 24", one 27", and one 32" LCD TV. I don't have space for an iMac, nor would I want to spend that much money on an experiment.
@AbdullaAlKhanin Right now? My main laptop is the Dell Vostro V13. I still use my Dell XPS M1330 now and then. I also use the HP dv2 regularly, and an HP Mini 1000. I have a few older laptops kicking around that don't get regular use...
@DirtyMidgetStudios Yeah, I'm not sure how much I'll like the keyboard. It's basically a laptop keyboard, but typing on a full-sized desktop keyboard will certainly feel nicer. :-)
@mysticabib You can use any monitor you want, as long as it supports DVI, HDMI, or mini DisplayPort...Apple sells several very expensive adaptors for VGA, etc.
I'm ANTI-MAC. I don't like the trendiness, and the hype that goes with apple's line. I owned 3 apple products, and all three DIED within a year. Way over-priced. As for the bluetooth keyboard and poor battery life, I suspect that's about right because bluetooth has quite poor reception range vs IR or RF. I'll never get pulled in again. I'll buy two or three PCS for the same amount.
@VideoGuyNC Ouch...all three died within a year? That sucks. Were they all iPods? iPods don't seem to be made very well - my wife had an iPod Shuffle that died a month after the one year warranty was up. Regarding Bluetooth, actually it's the opposite: Bluetooth has a range of 30 feet (Class 2), which makes it more power hungry than the RF used in keyboards which typically has a range of 4-8 feet. Bluetooth 2.x is just too power hungry of a technology to use.
@ThoughtsMedia Actually, two were Macbook air, the third was an older desktop model that I bought new in February of that year, and it died in November of that year. I also tried an iphone 3gs, but the phone performance was horrible. When I returned it, the sales person asked, "doesn't it work online?" to which I replied, "yes, but it doesn't work well at all for it's designed purpose, A PHONE!" Beware of apple hype.
@VideoGuyNC Oh, I should add that it's possible that Apple made the keyboard a Bluetooth Class 3 device, which has a range of 3.28 feet, but Bluetooth is still more power-hungry than RF.
@MyiPodReviewer Well, realistically, nothing has changed: you won't see me reviewing iMacs, or Macbooks, etc., because Apple doesn't send that stuff out to reviewers like me. At best, now that I have a Mac I might be able to review OS X software or accessories, but that's about it. You should check out Apple Thoughts if you want Mac reviews - they review hardware and software on a regular basis there...
this unit does look sweet, are you going to install windows on it and maybe you should do gaming vids and how fps differs on the mac plaform vs. the pc platform running similar software

@Madhoosudhan You mean when I fumbled with it? That has nothing to do with being nervous - it's just a slip. The Mac Mini has smooth edges, so it's not exactly easy to hold.

AND ALREADY YOU THAT FINAL CUT PRO IF IT WORKS WELL WITH MINIMAC

I want to know if the mac mini can support to work with final cut pro
disidentes1 1 year ago
@disidentes1 I'd love to be able to answer that, but Apple, being the completely dickish company that they are, doesn't provide free trials of Final Cut Pro, or even Final Cut Express. I'd like to check out Final Cut Express myself, but don't want to pay $200 for something that "might" be better. It's REALLY frustrating. So you'll have to find someone that has the software already... :-(

@disidentes1 yeah, of course it can, i recommend you getting 8gb of ram, if you film allot, with a 500gb hardrive, and the fastest proccesor, and if you edit allot, don't even think about the magic mouse, get a microsoft based mouse, apple mouses are only made for quick computing, they get really greasy from sweat, trust me, mine does it all the time when i edit

why the hell would you buy Macs this imac min iwhatever you call it is so much like $999 Australian Dollers and it doesn't come with a Dam Keyboard or Mouse For a Acer Windows pc you get DVi,VGA maybe Audio cable Keyboard and mouse for $288 Australian Dollers which is pretty much a bagain unlike macmini cost like 700 dollers more it should come with a keyboard and mouse and more better sepcs then a pc but good review dude

@Mruglytomatoes how? that's just what mac users tell themselves to sleep at night. I have a quad-core that I bought 2 yrs ago with a 8800GT (that costs less than a 100 bucks stand-alone) and still plays everything without too much hassle. The PC cost me 800 bucks without the monitor. I have no problems with it and won't upgrade anytime soon.

splice247 1 year ago
@splice247 So? I would have been perfectly happy with the size of the last-generation Mac Mini if it means a higher-performance CPU in this one. Besides, Intel has mobile versions of the Core chips, and if a laptop can rock a Core i7, why can't a Mac Mini?

@woods72 Yeah, turns out he takes his Macbook out of the room where his Magic Mouse is, so the Magic Mouse is probably going into a high-power "seek" mode where it's looking for the Macbook...he didn't tell me this until yesterday. :-( So hopefully I'll get better battery life than he's getting. ;-)

Great first impressions Jason.
A couple "corrections" -
1) It's OS (ten) not OS (ex).
2) my magic mouse is on original batteries, sitting around 8 months right now.
rockinthesixstring 1 year ago
@rockinthesixstring Thanks, glad you liked the videos. Curious about the "OS X" thing, I asked four Mac people I know. All said that both terms get used, though according to Apple, it's "Mac OS ten" and nothing else. Kind of a mouthful - I'll just call it "Kitty Cat". Oh, all agreed though that anyone who actually cares is being pedantic. ;-) Interesting about the Magic Mouse - maybe my friend has a defective one...?

don't you think it's a bit overpriced for what you get?
darkazer451 1 year ago
@darkazer451 Until I power it up and use it, I can't really comment on it being "overpriced". If you look only at the specs, yes, it's expensive for the performance you get. But you can't ignore the engineering, the design, the quality, and the Apple customer service (which is always rated at the top, or near the top). Apple is a luxury brand, and you pay for that. You can find cars $10K apart in price that have the same horsepower...but different rides. So we'll see what I think. :-)

@skrbicdu Yes, as I mentioned in part two of this video, I'm going to be shooting a video of my experiences from the moment I press the power button on the Mac Mini. Will I share it online? Depends on if I think there's something interesting to be shared. :-) I'll certainly talk about OS X in the video review, but I'll want to use it for a few weeks at least, maybe longer, so I can give it a fair shake.

DarkMerchant2222 1 year ago
I'm ANTI-MAC. I don't like the trendiness, and the hype that goes with apple's line. I owned 3 apple products, and all three DIED within a year. Way over-priced. As for the bluetooth keyboard and poor battery life, I suspect that's about right because bluetooth has quite poor reception range vs IR or RF. I'll never get pulled in again. I'll buy two or three PCS for the same amount.
VideoGuyNC 1 year ago 2
@VideoGuyNC Ouch...all three died within a year? That sucks. Were they all iPods? iPods don't seem to be made very well - my wife had an iPod Shuffle that died a month after the one year warranty was up. Regarding Bluetooth, actually it's the opposite: Bluetooth has a range of 30 feet (Class 2), which makes it more power hungry than the RF used in keyboards which typically has a range of 4-8 feet. Bluetooth 2.x is just too power hungry of a technology to use.
- Jason
ThoughtsMedia 1 year ago
@ThoughtsMedia Actually, two were Macbook air, the third was an older desktop model that I bought new in February of that year, and it died in November of that year. I also tried an iphone 3gs, but the phone performance was horrible. When I returned it, the sales person asked, "doesn't it work online?" to which I replied, "yes, but it doesn't work well at all for it's designed purpose, A PHONE!" Beware of apple hype.
VideoGuyNC 1 year ago
@VideoGuyNC Oh, I should add that it's possible that Apple made the keyboard a Bluetooth Class 3 device, which has a range of 3.28 feet, but Bluetooth is still more power-hungry than RF.

@MyiPodReviewer Well, realistically, nothing has changed: you won't see me reviewing iMacs, or Macbooks, etc., because Apple doesn't send that stuff out to reviewers like me. At best, now that I have a Mac I might be able to review OS X software or accessories, but that's about it. You should check out Apple Thoughts if you want Mac reviews - they review hardware and software on a regular basis there...
